Early legal analysis is appeal has a less than 30% chance because the decision is very well thought out.

agreed....a friend of mine in law school did a paper surveying the percentage of times the argument that the ruling judge "had no jurisdiction in the matter" failed in district courts or higher, only succeeded approximately 20% of the time.....that was one of the owners arguments with this judge.....

judges at that level just don't take kindly to that argument overall, the exact arguments notwithstanding.....

Yep and the news broke in the middle of tonight's draft. Great timing for the players association.

Imagine if they announced it to all the fans there at the draft...that place would erupt

If they did I don't think it would be too bad the place sounds half empty as it is.

It was nice seeing Barry Sanders get the warmest reception so far in this draft though.
